Slidell High has chosen its yearbook staff for the 2012-13 school year. The yearbook staff will include Cameron Westbrook, Kylie McDonald, Aaron Miller, Brittany Henry, Cheyanne Rimmer, Lexy Pearson, Tammy Pursley, Alexis Bouchereau, Michael Colllazo and Courtney Ryals. They were chosen after carefully reviewing their grades, a teacher recommendation, and their applications.

Incoming seniors Ashley Dukes, Austin Currera and Caroline Gelvin will be interning for journalism next year and also will take on the roles of yearbook editors. Dukes and Currera will be co-editors for the 2012-13 school year; Gelvin will be photo editor for 2012-13.

“Next year, Austin, Caroline, and I have new ideas that I hope to bring to a reality with our 2012-13 yearbook,” co-editor Ashley Dukes said.

As co-editors, Dukes and Currera are responsible for the completion of work in the yearbook, as well as the staff’s work ethic. They will keep the morale of the staff high, organize yearbook layouts, and take care of business.

“I am honored to have been chosen to be co-editor. I have an awesome personality, and I think that I will do a wonderful job. I promise to give Slidell High the best yearbook that the school has ever seen,” co-editor Austin Currera said.

As photo editor, Caroline Gelvin will teach the yearbook staff different photography techniques, as well as proper grammar throughout the book. All photos taken for the yearbook will be presented to her before entering the pages.

Shayne Boyd also was presented an officer’s position, as he will be serving as the captain of the improv team. These individuals have dedicated themselves to theater for the past four years and are enthusiastic to serve these roles their senior year.

Scott Sauber will be directing the Walt Disney production “Alice in Wonderland Jr.” this summer at Slidell High School. Auditions will be held June 2 in the school’s auditorium.

Alice in Wonderland, Jr. is a fast-paced tale of a Alice, a young girl, who allows her curiosity to get her in quite the adventure. The play follows her adventures in Wonderland as she chases the White Rabbit, races the Dodo Bird, gets tied with the Tweedles, raps with a bubble-blowing Caterpiller, and beats the Queen of Hearts at her own game.
